So this loving, caring God that gave us the law of God has now left us alone to do what we want. He sent his son simply to die while we take and corrupt what his son was sent for in the first place? Sorry, but when you speak of logic this just doesn't hold water for me. Why trust us humans? Because he is God, afterall and there are countless examples of him working through those same corrupt souls to save them!
No, he sent his son as a last ditch effort to try and point us in the right direction. (SwampFox;4448)
I disagree - homosexuals invoke the law of love; even pedophiles say the very same thing...ever heard of NAMBLA? I love God but I make mistakes daily. We're not perfect and will never be, we sin. We all have faults but that doesn't mean there isn't good within us.
Well, NAMBLA is why we have secular laws prohibiting it. Back in those days it was perfectly common for a man to marry a 12 or 13 year old girl. No mention of pedophilia in the bible is there? I know we're not perfect. I am the first to admit it. And you still talk of homosexuals as the abomination that the bible describes, when, in the next paragraph you say: (SwampFox;4448)
However, much of what you have quoted in previous threads is directed at Israel in the wilderness. Take, for instance, the man found above in the wilderness on Sabbath - this is obviously a specific case for that particular time. The same works for the rule that is addressed to the people Israel. That's instructing this particular people. I've addressed some of your other concerns in the other in thread.
So the homosexuality is an abomination law was just meant for the people of Israel? Please, we need to reconcile these beliefs. Either you believe that the laws of the old testament were meant for the people of Israel and a christian can safely disregard those laws based on the fact that Christ died for our sins, Or you believe that the laws are there for us to follow and hence, you have to make your best effort to follow every law to the letter.

I cannot judge someone and will not judge someone. Period. I do my best to follow the law, though I fail. I am human.
Again, see above. Is the law to be followed or not? (SwampFox;4448)
But then again, you believe the Bible to be one big lie, so I don't know if there's anymore to discuss.
I think we're past the big lie part, and more into "do we follow the laws" part.
